With a focus on quality, consistency and innovation, Algeos provides practical solutions for fabrication, repair and specialist making across a wide range of markets.
Selecting the right material depends on the job in hand. Whether you are producing a custom orthotic, modifying footwear, building a prop, lining a costume piece or bonding layered materials together, the choice of material will affect performance, finish, durability and ease of manufacture.
Important considerations include flexibility, rigidity, cushioning, weight, appearance, working properties, environmental exposure and the demands of the finished application.
Traditional materials such as leather and cork continue to play an important role across orthotics, footwear, repair and creative fabrication.
Thermoplastics are widely used because they are strong, versatile and easy to heat-form for a wide range of technical applications.
Foams provide cushioning, shock absorption, comfort and structure in footwear, orthotics, costume, props and other fabrication work.
Carbon materials offer excellent strength with low weight, making them suitable for high-performance supports, specialist fabrication and applications where lightweight rigidity matters.
Textiles are used for reinforcement, covers, lamination, finishing and surface applications across medical, footwear and creative sectors.
Metals remain important where structural strength, adjustability, durability and precision are required.
Adhesives, resins and processing chemicals are essential across many making and repair environments. They are used for bonding, laminating, coating, finishing and preparing materials for further conversion.
Our range supports applications across orthotics, footwear, prosthetics, workshop repairs and technical fabrication - with products selected for dependable handling and reliable performance.
Safe working practices are important in any workshop, studio, clinic or production environment. Many specialist materials require correct handling, storage and protective measures to ensure safe and effective use.
The wide variety of materials available today gives professionals and makers more freedom to create, adapt, repair and refine products for a broad range of uses. From clinical devices and specialist footwear to costume work and prop builds, the right materials help improve comfort, finish, durability and overall performance.
Algeos is proud to supply high-quality materials backed by expert support and conversion services. We aim to be a dependable source for specialist materials used across podiatry, orthotics, footwear, costume, repair and fabrication.

The Aortha brand was established in 2010 to bring together Algeos materials and components under one trusted brand. It remains a key part of our materials offer, particularly for orthotic and prosthetic applications where consistency, technical performance and specialist knowledge matter.
The Aortha range includes EVA, carbon composites, thermoplastics, transfer papers for AFOs, lower limb orthotic joint components and lower limb prosthetic components.
As manufacturing methods have evolved through CAD-CAM systems, digital workflows and 3D printing, Aortha has continued to develop materials that support modern orthotic production. By working closely with major CAD-CAM providers, the brand has built a comprehensive range of EVA, plastics and PU materials in multiple densities for today’s fabrication requirements.
